Somebody take this hood off me
Somebody come and set me free
She left my heart in misery
Somebody come and see about me

'Cause I refuse to live alone
Gotta have someone I can call my own
Although I know the girl did me wrong
Can't keep a good man down too long

'Cause I'm gonna find somebody
Lord, I'm gonna find somebody
Somebody to love
Somebody to love

Without a warning you say we're through
And after all I've done for you
Look at the changes you took me through
Look how you made my life so blue

But I'm gonna find somebody
Lord, I'm gonna find somebody
Somebody to love
Somebody to love

This is a mean world to try and live in all by yourself
And I'm the kind of guy
Who can't stand being alone
I know it's sort of bad for my health

That's why I've got to find somebody
Lord, I've got to find somebody
Somebody to love
Somebody to love

Look out, 'cause here I come
All this good loving for someone
I don't care- I don't care if you're young or old
As long as you can satisfy my soul

Then I won't need nobody
Lord, I'm gonna find somebody
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
I'm gonna find somebody
Somebody to love me, now
